Continue reading to learn about some of the most typical issues we find with air conditioners throughout the summer months. If anything sounds familiar, or if you're certain your air conditioner is having trouble.
Common Problems
Most likely, your air conditioner is experiencing a rather frequent issue that can be readily resolved. Only in rare instances does an air conditioner have a truly unique problem that necessitates considerable repair. So, let's look at some of the most common issues we deal with on a regular basis and see if we can't assist you out.
Refrigerant Leak
A helium leak could be the cause of your system's problems. The sound of incoming air, your refrigerant lines and the refrigerant escaping into the atmosphere is known as crackling or bubbling.
As your air conditioner works to cool your home, you may notice a drop in overall energy efficiency and comfort. Because it has less refrigerant to work with, it will need more energy. Over time, that refrigerant will deplete to the point where it will no longer be able to chill your home. Give us a call and get AC Installation Chaska, MN and the surrounding area.
Clogged Air Filter
Your air conditioner's air cleaner is a critical component. It will become blocked and suffocate your system if it is not replaced every 1-3 months.
Consider this: the more dust, debris, pet dander, and hair clog your air filter, the less space is available for fresh air to enter your system. It will struggle to breathe and become significantly less energy efficient. If you're not careful, this can put a strain on some components and potentially cause a system failure.
Incorrect Temperature Setting
We'll be honest with you: it's a miracle that an air conditioner works at all when it gets this hot here. While the heatwaves batter us with record-breaking temperatures and even excessive humidity, homeowners begin to lower their thermostats as much as possible.
This is a huge blunder. Your air conditioning problems could be caused by a thermostat that is set too low. A residence can't be cooled down more than 20 degrees below the outside temperature with an air conditioner. So, if it's above 100 degrees outdoors, set the thermostat to 80 degrees and find alternative ways to cool yourself, such as going swimming or enjoying a cold beverage!
